October 23, 2014 Reason for Request for change to Construction Management undergraduate curriculum In an effort to provide a more efficient delivery of course material, the following changes have been suggested by our Industry Advisory Board and Civil Engineering Faculty. 1. Since the ACCE accreditation requirements do not consider Math 121 College Algebra as an adequate level of math, it is recommended that the requirement be dropped. The students will be expected to show up Calculus ready, similar to the requirements for Civil and Construction Engineering. 2. The CE 409 Engineering Ethics class was added to the curriculum to meet the needs of the ABET accreditation. Since the ABET accreditation criteria has changed to an outcomes based requirement, the stand alone CE 409 class no longer meets the ABET criteria. As the 1 hour class is only taught 2 days a week for half a semester, faculty hours and class room space is being obligated for a full semester on a topic that is no longer required as a stand-alone course. It is recommended that the class be dropped from the curriculum. 3. The CE 455 Engineering Project Management and CE 477 Project Controls courses have been delivering very similar material. Feedback from the students and instructors has suggested that the two courses could be combined into an updated CE 477 Project Controls course. The combination of these changes will result in the following: Proposal: Construction Management Existing Program has 130 hours Drop CE 409 Ethics - 1 hour Drop Math 121 College Algebra - 3 hours Drop CE 455 Engr Proj Management - 3 hours Proposed program has 123 hours.
Justification, Planning, Budget and Workload for Construction Management curriculum changes 23 October 2014 Justification for the program The requested changes will result in a reduction of credit hours from 130 to 123. The reduction in credit hours provides a more efficient path for students to obtain their Construction Management Degree without jeopardizing the quantity of material learned. Impact on long range planning There should be minimal impact on the courses being taught. No additional budget is required to implement this change. Faculty Workload The CE 409 class is currently being taught by an adjunct professor and thus this requirement will be eliminated. Deletion of the CE 455 class will result in less of a need for adjunct faculty that has been required to teach the class. For the module classes, the reduction in students in the 3 credit hour class and replacement with a 1 credit hour class should result in a slightly lower workload.
